Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson recently made headlines by calling Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s office and leaving a message stating that he and his team are “coming to liberate Canada.” This comes in the wake of Trudeau’s controversial crackdown on the trucker protests against vaccine mandates and other COVID-19 restrictions.
Carlson’s phone call to the Canadian Prime Minister’s office, which he shared on his Instagram account, has sparked both curiosity and debate about the true intentions behind his visit to the country. In the video, he says, “We are coming to liberate Canada. We are coming to liberate Canada, and we’ll be there soon. Merci!”

The conservative news host has been an outspoken critic of Trudeau’s handling of the trucker protests, which were sparked by a vaccine mandate for truckers crossing the U.S.-Canada border. The protests gained international attention and garnered significant support from both sides of the political spectrum. However, the Canadian government’s response to the protests, including the invocation of the Emergencies Act, has been widely criticized as an overreach of power.

Carlson has been vocal about his concerns over the Canadian government’s actions, particularly the freezing of bank accounts belonging to protest participants and supporters. He has argued that these actions are a violation of civil liberties and has called for greater scrutiny of the Trudeau government’s response to the protests.
As Carlson prepares to visit Canada, many are left wondering what his intentions are and what impact his presence might have on the ongoing debate over the government’s handling of the protests. Some see his visit as a rallying cry for those who oppose the government’s actions, while others view it as an attempt to stir up controversy and further divide the public.
In any case, the phone call and subsequent visit by Tucker Carlson to Canada are sure to generate further discussion and debate on the role of government in managing public protests and the balance between public safety and civil liberties.
